St. Louis Blues Defeat Chicago Blackhawks in Winter Classic

The Blues and the Chicago Blackhawks took to the outdoors Monday, with Vladimir Tarasenko rapidly scoring two goals in the third period and goalie Jake Allen stopping 22 shots to lead St. Louis to a 4-1 victory over visiting Chicago in the Winter Classic.

The Blackhawks took the lead 62 seconds into the game when Michal Kempny scored on a slap shot from just inside the blue line. St. Louis tied when Patrik Berglund scored at 7:45 of the second period.

Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford, who faced 34 shots, made his best save when he denied Tarasenko on a breakaway three minutes into the third period, but Tarasenko struck back. He made a backhand pass that hit Niklas Hjalmarsson’s skate and slipped by Crawford at 12:05, and he then scored on a wrist shot over Crawford’s shoulder at 13:58, giving him 18 goals this season. Robbi Fabbri assisted on both goals.

“It’s not about my goals,” Tarasenko said. “We have a great team and a great goalie. It was a great win for us and everyone played their best.”

DEVILS BEAT THE BRUINS P. A. Parenteau scored his fifth goal in eight games, Cory Schneider made 22 saves, and the previously slumping Devils beat the visiting Boston Bruins, 3-0, for their third win in the last 13 games.

Oklahoma Beats Auburn in Sugar Bowl

Baker Mayfield passed for 296 yards and two touchdowns and No. 7 Oklahoma ended its season on a 10-game winning streak by defeating No. 17 Auburn, 35-19, in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

Sooners running back Joe Mixon heard repeated boos from Auburn fans who also shouted derisive comments regarding a recently publicized video of Mixon punching a woman in the face in 2014. Mixon, who has apologized for the assault, finished with two short touchdown runs for Oklahoma (11-2) and gained 180 yards from scrimmage — 91 rushing and 89 receiving.

Auburn (8-5), which had lost its last two Southeastern Conference games, was hopeful it would be buoyed by the return of quarterback Sean White, who missed both of those games with a throwing shoulder injury. White led Auburn to a touchdown on its first series — Chandler Cox’s 3-yard run on fourth down — but then left in the first half with a right arm injury.

Mixon broke loose for a 35-yard run in the third quarter that set up his second touchdown, which he scored from 4 yards out by diving for the pylon. Early in the fourth quarter, Samaje Perine took a direct snap for a 2-yard touchdown that made it 35-13.

With back-to-back fourth-quarter runs of 16 and 15 yards, Perine broke the Oklahoma record for career rushing yards.

Correction:

Because of an editing error, a picture caption with a report in the Scoreboard column on Tuesday about the Winter Classic hockey game between the Chicago Blackhawks and the St. Louis Blues misidentified the Blues player shown vying with the Blackhawks’ Michal Kempny. He is Kyle Brodziak — not Corey Crawford, who is the Chicago goaltender pictured in the background.
